[tulip] ZNYX 4 port ZX346Q

[A James Lewis]

Presently I have 3 SUN QFE cards in a HP Netserver 3000, the work very
well... I have a problem that only 3 of the ports work but that problem is
also present on the tulip based cards so I assume it is not a driver
problem but further into the kernel or a problem with my hardware...

I'm sticking about 30 megabits continuously through them with no
problems....

I've also used a SUN dual wide SCSI card in a PC with no problems, I bet
Windows would have driver problems though!!! ;-)
